| In this experiment a hoop and a wheel of the same width, mass, and diameter are rolled down an incline. Ask the students which will win the race or if it will be a tie. The hoop and wheel are placed at the top of the incline and released at the same time. | As the picture clearly shows, the wheel wins the race. Because of the hoop's higher moment of inertia, it will always lose the race. |
